You mean that burnt, tounge texture? Because I can totally taste that.

I have wine. Really good italian wine. I have to be up early. I REBEL! Wait, no I don't because this is rather important work stuff that I have to be up early for.

Sailor Jerry Rum and Mountain Dew. It tastes like banana-flavored circus peanuts. I've added cranberry juice, so now it is tropical circus peanuts - which is better enough to drink._________________::crisis mode::

I've come to the conclusion Jack Daniel's is best enjoyed while sitting in the open bed of a small pickup truck doing 60km/h down a bumpy dirt logging road, while trying to simultaneously smoke a cigar at the same time. Then do all of the above while avoiding a chainsaw and a spare tire also in the bed of the pickup truck and also bouncing all over the goddamn place, and trying to avoid being flung out of the truck.

And it still tastes somewhat like I'm attempting to drink a liquefied piece of oak furniture, but I guess that's more pleasant than most hard spirits, so I'll manage.

On a plus note, I was nicely buzzed by the time we hit the hot springs, made swimming in them even more pleasant.

Also reporting that King Heffy was very good beer and everyone who tried a bit thought so too. Will be picking up more sooner or later._________________Whatever happened to the heroes?

I was introduced to "fire cider," aka "angry balls," a few weeks ago... terribly good. It's just cider (such as Angry Orchard) and a shot of Fireball cinnamon whiskey. Bam. Deliciousness all up in your mouth hole._________________"Worse comes to worst, my people come first, but my tribe lives on every country on earth.

I guess it would be something like a spiced cider then?

I love Fireball but the stuff makes me feel sick if I drink a whole bottle of it. Might be good to find something I can mix it with._________________Whatever happened to the heroes?

Yeah, it's just that generally well-loved flavor of apples and cinnamon (or pear and cinnamon if you're into that kind of thing). And cold and refreshing, which is nice this time of year. Also, a lot of my friends are gluten free, and so they can't drink beer (sad story). So cider is their go-to drink, and it's nice way to spice it up.

I think you could substitute most liquors into that sentence. Moderation, etc, etc._________________"Worse comes to worst, my people come first, but my tribe lives on every country on earth. Iíll do anything to protect them from hurt, the human race is what I serve." - Baba Brinkman

I probably drink too much, I blame my tolerance for alcohol. Even after not drinking for months, a mickey (13 oz) of liquor still doesn't do much more than make me more talkative than usual._________________Whatever happened to the heroes?

Some back of the envelope math!
Rum and coke: ~2 oz rum, ~8oz of coke
Google tells me a fifth of rum (750ml) is about 25ozs, or about 12 rum and cokes. A 2-liter of coke costs like... $1.80. A fifth of Bicardi Gold costs about $25 (huh, that's a buck an ounce, I just realized). A rum and coke at home, then, costs me about $2.21. On average, not accounting for meals or sleep or whatever, it takes about four before I'm really feeling it (but only two before I won't drive - don't be an asshole). So I can have a good time at home/a party for about $9. That's a savings of lots of money!_________________"Worse comes to worst, my people come first, but my tribe lives on every country on earth.

I'm pretty much stuck buying a mickey of liquor for somewhere around $10-$18 (which is surprisingly close to your $1 an oz for booze), then either buying or bumming some cheap beers off of a friend. That'll get me buzzed. I've never actually been black-out drunk, or anywhere really close, I suspect.

The only mixed drink I drink is 50/50 vodka and cola. Which got me a lot of odd looks when I went to Cuba, being rum territory and all. Lots of "Did you mean rum and coke?" questions from bartenders and the like.

I don't own a car, and I don't let my friends drive drunk. I'm generally the most sober person at a party, so I generally see it as my responsibility to keep people out of danger.

Maybe I'll see if I can pick up a bottle of proper 190 proof Everclear if I visit Alberta this summer. You can't buy it in BC unless you have a permit to use it for lab use or industrial use _________________Whatever happened to the heroes?

oooo! i just tried that one (the cider, not the cider-based ice cream float). it really was quite tasty.

i could really get into ciders, but it means going to the local BevMo!, and i always end up with way too much other stuff as well.

It really is! I don't like many ciders, and my supertaster-ness limits me to this or something like Smirnoff. This is loads better. I shoud try the other lavors, but rhubarb and elderberry is so perfect. _________________::crisis mode::

It's okay, the elderberry is the best of the bunch by a long shot. I just wish Angry Orchard had a bit more flavor - it is a bit light for my preferences._________________Before God created Las he pondered on all the aspects a woman might have, he considered which ones would look good super-inflated and which ones to leave alone.
